越南在南沙“日积礁”开挖新航道 外媒称挑战中国
【观察者网综合】自今年7月的“南海仲裁裁决”成为“废纸”之后，南海经历了几个月的平静。然而，近日外媒又开始报道越南等国对中国的“挑战”。
继上月末报道越南在南海27岛填海造陆后，路透社等多家外媒12月8日报道，卫星图片显示，越南正在南沙日积礁的一个海湾和外海之间开挖一个新的通道。
日积礁开挖部位示意图 美国一家卫星公司Planet Labs 11月30日提供的卫星照片图像显示，在日积礁海湾与外海之间，已经出现一个新开挖的航道，有几艘挖泥船在施工。
施工的目的虽然不能完全确定，但分析人士认为，类似的开挖工程是为了在其它岛礁上进行更大规模的建设工程。
路透社称，越南的这一举动是对该岛主权的宣示，这将激怒南海的主要主权声索方——中国。
日积礁位于南沙群岛西南方，该岛涨潮时完全淹没于水面之下，岛上有一座灯塔，还有一处有少数越南军人驻扎的哨所。台湾也对该岛主张“主权”。
路透社援引前英国中国国防部海军情报分析员霍灵斯比（Trevor Hollingsbee）的观点称，越南显然在迅速的加固岛礁的防务，日积礁显得很虚弱，越南在尽全力巩固日积礁的防卫。
美国著名智库战略与国际问题研究中心（CSIS）南海问题专家克雷格·波林（Greg Poling）则表示，日积礁上的施工将达到什么程度尚不明确，可能越南只是希望提升该岛对来往船只和渔民的补给能力，而不是建立一个新的基地。
波林还表示，日积礁可能对越占南沙岛礁的防卫理论上有所帮助，越南正在岛礁上建造新的跑道和机库。他说，“越南知道他们与中国无法竞争，但还是希望提升对南沙岛礁的监控能力。”
越南正在20多处南沙岛礁开展建设活动 越南长期来一直担心中国凭借日益增长的海上军事实力，将他们从目前所占21个南沙岛礁上赶走。因此他们也对中国在南海的建设活动，以及今年7月的“南海仲裁”心怀不满。
路透社今年8月曾报道称，越南在南沙群岛的数个岛礁上设置了机动火箭炮装置，中国占据的南沙群岛的岛礁和通航要道在火箭炮的射程之内。
越南外交和中国国防部门尚未对有关报道作任何评论。
美媒炒作越南渔民遭“不公正待遇”
美国广播公司（ABC）8日又开始炒作越南渔民遭到的“不公正待遇”。
报道称，越南渔船船长布伊（Bui）为了丰厚的鱼获，不惜冒着被中国执法人员“骚扰”的风险前往中国占领的岛礁附近。
资料图：越南渔船船长Bui 布伊表示，他两周前才遭到过“骚扰”，当时他们在永兴岛附近，中国海警人员登上他们的船，用棍棒和电击器殴打他们。
他说，“他们爬到我的船顶上，割断了旗索，切断了我们的无线电通信并没收我们的渔获和设备。他们还强迫我们躺在甲板上。”
他说，“他们朝我们大声广播，告诉我们我们在中国水域非法捕鱼。但我知道这里是越南水域，因为我们的祖先世世代代在这里捕鱼。”
布伊还表示，由于中国在南沙岛礁上的建设活动，他们的渔获明显下降了，“以往我们一周就能有这么多收货，现在要一个月才行，中国破坏了鱼群栖息的珊瑚礁，汽油也贵了。”
